► The Nuclear Security Summit (NSS), where leaders of approximately 50 countries gathered every two years from 2010 to 2016, emphasized the importance of nuclear security and allowed for a collaborative effort to establish goals and implement activities to achieve them.
► At the 2012 Seoul Summit, ROK made significant contributions to nuclear security by introducing the safety and security interface- the recognition that safety and security measures should be integrated and mutually reinforcing to effectively safeguard nuclear facilities.
►Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 led to new nuclear-related security issues in the international community, and these issues cannot be addressed by the efforts of a single country alone. As shown in the ministerial-level meetings during the International Conference on Nuclear Security (ICONS), responsible officials should gather together to engage in discussions and establish a mechanism to track the progress and implementation of the outcomes.
